Beth and Isabella Parker on Relay for Life

Participants in this year's Yakima Relay for Life are all coming to the Franklin Middle School track this weekend for their own reasons.

A local mother and daughter, Beth and Isabella Parker, spoke with KIT on Thursday and explained why they'll be at the 24-hour fundraiser that fights cancer.

The event runs from noon Saturday through noon Sunday at the school.
